Lastnight was very lackluster. Hard to go off of preseason but it looks like Garcon/Jackson will see a ton of looks this year regardless of RG3 or Cousins. Reed got open as well and I see him as their #2 target on the team. I'm targeting him for my 6/7th pick.
Cleveland is a mess. The mess at QB is causing a ton of issues. The majority of the passes were thrown behind the WR's, making it impossible to project the production of Jordan Cameron. I still think he's a top 10 TE, but probably closer to 10 than 5. Ben Tate had a few nice runs, but didn't get much blocking. If healthy he can be a nice player, but I doubt he plays more than 12 full games.
I'm still contemplating the #1 overall pick. McCoy apparently is very sore with turf toe. Not good. May avoid him now and go Charles definitively.
What RB's are you targeting 4-7?
Arc, you have a massive advantage getting stud WR's because of their low injury rate, IMO. WR is only deep because 2-3 play on the field at the same time in a passing league. The top tier still inherit the most targets and that's who I want.
In the end, it's all about team construction. Each league is different (scoring systems/starting rosters/etc). You should figure out how many points (on average) you think you need to score weekly to have a good chance to win the average game in your league. If by taking Graham, you can still build the rest of your team to exceed that average weekly total then go for it.
I'd feel better about having an elite, top tier RB than a top tier WR.

Right, but unless you are getting a top 4 RB I see the value drop off significantly.
I love Tate in the 7th/8th rounds. He's only missed 8 games in 3 years, but he's never been the man. There's def some risk, but I think he's a good gamble in that spot. He's going to be Clevelands workhorse.
Like, if I had 6th pick and Charles, McCoy, Forte, Peterson and Lynch all got drafted, I'd be pretty hesitant to take Lacy. I don't think the value matches up.
I really want to take Tate, I just feel like there's no chances he lasts to round 7 in any 12 round league. Am I crazy for taking him with the 50th pick? He'd be in the bunch with Sankey, Bell, Rice, etc.
Have the 2nd pick and debating between him, McCoy, AP, and Manning.

Apparently all tests were negative, Reid saying he's fine. So damn annoying. Having the #1 pick sucks this year, would much rather have 3 for the first 2 rounds.
You are low on lacy??

He dropped a box on his foot and it bruised.
Annoying but non serious.

Some are torn on Toby saying he benefits from AP weakening the D. He is supposed to be a workhorse no? Some say he won't be.

Yep.
I think Sankey will surprise a lot of people..
I am talking to the team picking 4th about the following trade:
I give him my 1st (10th overall) and 6th (63rd overall) for his 2nd (21st overall) and 3rd (45th overall). In addition we would swap 4th (he gets my 39th, I get his 45th)
This gives me:
15, 21, 28, 34, 45..... instead of 10, 15,34, 39, 58
Is this a trade worth entertaining? I think he is making out slightly, but I like having 5 picks in the top 45. Thoughts?
Something about Sankey just makes me feel like he's not going to be very good.
I've watched some Redskins games and I know they have a crowded backfield, but man Lache Seastrunk can run the ball. Not saying to draft him, but if he gets a chance (and Alfred Morris was also a 6th round pick I believe), he can do some things.
If I can get him to drop the swap of 4's, I think I do it. If he insists on keeping the 4s swap, I might see if he is willing to swap 5th rounders. We are instituing keepers going forward in the 5th round or later, so those 6 spots could be helpful
Depth is great, but you still want the heavy hitters.
This blows.
For the record, I fucking chose him over Gio Bernard.
Fuck.
or because it's DUI plus pot a couple games?
